God Rest His Soul

A man lay dying in the streets
A thousand people fell down on their knees
Any other day, he would have been
Preaching
Reaching all the people there
Oh Lord, Lord

But Lord knows I can't change what I saw
I say, God rest his soul

The Memphis battleground was red
'Cause blood came pouring from his head
Women and children fallin' down
Crying
For the man they loved so well
Lord, Lord, Lord

But Lord knows I can't change what I saw
I say, God rest his soul

Alright, break here

Lord knows I can't change what I saw
I say, God rest his soul

The morning sun will rise again
With all their patience growing thin
What're we gonna do when war has come and we're
Dying
Dying for the cause, I know

Yeah, but
Lord knows I can't change what I saw
I say, God rest his soul
